Levi's Men's 511 Slim Fit Jeans (Discontinued)

As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of denim, I must say that these Levi's Men's 511 Slim Fit Stretch Jeans have surpassed all my expectations. I've owned many pairs of jeans in my lifetime, but none have fit me as well as these bad boys. Not only are they slim fitting, but they have just the right amount of stretch to allow me to do a cartwheel (yes, I tried it).But let's get to the real meat of this review - the funny part. Picture this: it's a Saturday morning, you wake up feeling like a million bucks, and you want to strut your stuff in your new jeans. You walk into your local coffee shop feeling like the coolest cat in town. You order your usual, but when you go to pay, you realize you left your wallet at home. No big deal, you'll just use your phone to pay, right? Wrong. You left your phone at home too.At this point, you're sweating bullets. You're trying to remember if there's any change in your car that you can scrounge up, but you know it's a lost cause. Just when you think you're about to have to wash dishes to pay for your coffee, a stranger comes up to you and says, "Hey man, I got you." You look up to see that the stranger is wearing the exact same Levi's Men's 511 Slim Fit Stretch Jeans as you. You both laugh and bond over your love of these amazing jeans.Now, I know what you're thinking - "That's not even that funny." But trust me, in the moment, it was hilarious. These jeans have brought so much joy and laughter into my life, and I can't recommend them enough. If you want to feel like a million bucks and have a good chuckle, do yourself a favor and buy a pair (or two). Five out of five stars, baby!Levi's Men's 511 Slim Fit Stretch Jeans are a popular choice among men looking for a stylish and comfortable pair of jeans. Let's compare them with another popular brand, the Gap Men's Slim Fit Jeans.1. Fit: Both Levi's Men's 511 Slim Fit Stretch Jeans and Gap Men's Slim Fit Jeans have a slim fit, which is tailored through the leg and thigh. However, Levi's 511 Slim Fit Jeans have a slightly tapered leg, while Gap's Slim Fit Jeans have a straight leg.2. Fabric: Both jeans are made of cotton and elastane, which gives them a comfortable stretch. However, Levi's Men's 511 Slim Fit Stretch Jeans have a higher percentage of elastane, which means they have more stretch and are more comfortable to wear.3. Design: Levi's Men's 511 Slim Fit Stretch Jeans have a classic five-pocket design, while Gap Men's Slim Fit Jeans have a four-pocket design with a button-flap coin pocket. Levi's 511 Slim Fit Jeans also have a small red tag on the back pocket, which is a signature Levi's design element.4. Availability: Both jeans are widely available in stores and online, although Levi's Men's 511 Slim Fit Stretch Jeans are typically a bit more expensive than Gap Men's Slim Fit Jeans.5. In summary, both Levi's Men's 511 Slim Fit Stretch Jeans and Gap Men's Slim Fit Jeans are popular choices for men looking for a slim fit, comfortable pair of jeans. Levi's 511 Slim Fit Jeans have a slightly tapered leg, more elastane for stretch, and a classic five-pocket design, while Gap Men's Slim Fit Jeans have a straight leg, a four-pocket design with a button-flap coin pocket, and a lower price point. Ultimately, the choice between the two will come down to personal preference in terms of fit, style, and budget.

I'm a 5'6" 115lb woman and I have trouble fitting into a lot of women's jeans, which are cut for curves I don't have. I discovered these by trying on my brother's jeans, and then bought my own in the length I needed (28w 30L). Now my mom wears them, too! They're so comfortable and durable, they wear into soft comfortable fabric, and being able to get the exact size you want is amazing as a woman, because most women's jeans don't come in lengths. Be aware that the stretch and advanced stretch are different than the regular ones. Advanced stretch is much thicker fabric and you should size up. I use those for work.

I know buying Levi's on Amazon can be a gamble. I've personally received a couple of pairs of jeans where the fit was off, color was wrong, etc etc. But these were even better than expected on all counts.I got the Bee's Eye (grey) slim fit 511, stretch, size 30 x 30, in waterless (I also clicked "Regular," although I'm not even sure what that refers to). I'm 5'10" 155lbs, i.e., totally average. I'm a Medium in every single brand and always a 30x30.The fit is perfect. Slim with a form-fitted silhouette from waist to calf. Never tight, never loose, I always feel the jeans around my legs and they never constrict me. The leg hole openings are 14.5", which I have found the perfect balance: they work with sneakers, and also leather boots. **One note on fit: The legs do seem to run a tiny bit long. There's minor "gathering" around the ankles, I wouldn't call it "bunching". Wearing them barefoot no part of the jeans touch the ground. But if you want a totally streamlined fit with no fabric gathering and you don't want to cuff your hems, get 1 leg size down.Materials and construction: I wanted the Stretch and was willing to sacrifice some cotton for it. Amazon said these would be 99% cotton, 1% elastane. I didn't believe them, and expected closer to 79% cotton 21% stretch like an older pair of stretch jeans I have. And I was fine with that. But these are, in fact, 99% cotton, AND the stretch is substantial. They're (again) a wonderful balance: 99% cotton so there's still plenty of fabric to break in and make your own, but the stretch makes all kinds of movement super comfy.And now color. The color was actually better for me than it looked in the Amazon picture. The grey was spot on, a medium grey with some heather-ish texture in it. But in person the jeans don't have those faint white creases up around the thighs and crotch. The jeans have no artificial distressing or extra design work on them. Which I love aesthetically, and also because again these are 99% cotton. These will earn their own wear-and-tear over the years.These are already some of my new favorite jeans. I'm obsessive about fit and comfort, and these are excellent on both. If anything changes after more wears and washes I'll update this review, but as of now Levi's on Amazon won me back over. Probably ordering another pair soon.
